Night Diver Course

The sun starts to set and most people will be heading home, but we’re just beginning.

Many underwater beasties though will just be starting to come out to play, so to see them you need to be able to dive at night. With the right training and a little bit of planning, night dives can be as easy as diving during the day.

The path to becoming a PADI Night Diver consists of two steps:

1. PADI eLearning: 2-4 hours.
2. Participate in 3 open water dives.   

At Go Dive Training this course is run by special arrangement, needing a minimum of two participants.

PADI eLearning® on your own, from the comfort of your home, read, watch videos, and take quizzes at your own pace to develop knowledge of scuba rescue procedures, before you work with one of our PADI Instructors. 

Complete 3 open water dives are required to complete the PADI Night Diver course, with Go Dive training, these take place at the National Diving Centre at Stoney Cove in Leicestershire.

The course is run at Stoney Cove over two Wednesday evenings. (1st and 3rd Wednesday of every month,  

During the course you will learn about:

• Night dive planning, organisation, procedures, techniques and potential problems.
• How to control your buoyancy at night without the usual visual references.
• Methods of entry, exit and underwater navigation at night.
• Nocturnal aquatic life, since many of the plants and animals you’ll see are different.

As well as these dives being an opportunity for you to show your instructor your mastery of the skills and procedures, you will also gain more experience diving and the basics of how to look after other divers . 

On successful completion of these dives, you will be a PADI Night Diver.

We will provide all the equipment you need for the training.

To enrol on a  course you need PADI (Junior) Open Water Diver (or qualifying entry-level certification) 12 years or older.
